Zt 0392 BRNGLD!

Well, I see that in the traditional spirit of ZT limited knives has quickly devolved into the two camps of angry people who did not get a knife, and the rabid KAI fans attacking anyone who utters a negative word. Looks like a nice knife, hope those who got one enjoy it and those who didn't find something else cool to buy.

Is that your take on it? Interesting. It is normal to not be happy if you lose, but it is not normal to be threatening and calling people names when you don't get your way.

It is now appearing through some simple deduction and a little web investigation that the largest whiner in this thread appears to have tried to buy two copies of this knife, clearly against the rules, and then when ZT found out about this person's buying two (against the rules), ZT refunded his money.

The person appears to have had two ebay auctions placed, which he later removed the auctions since ZT canceled his orders and he no longer had two knives to flip.

Of course this all could be a simple coincidence with two Lukes involved in the same LE sale.....:rolleyes:

I guess you can mark this one up as a win for the Rabid Fanboys, of which I am proud to be one.

After the ZT sale I started saving the BRNGLD's that went up on eBay to track how many and at what prices they were selling for.

I had two of them saved from "lukemeetze" and now those have changed to the name "nmstigers".

Kind of odd that the seller changed their name and really odd that a member here got their order cancelled for order in two.

So much coincidence ??

Maybe the Luke here can clarify??
 
Yikes, never underestimate the investigative ability of bladeforums members LOL

I would like one of these knives, I feel zero empathy for the fool caught buying more than 1 in an attempt to flip them.

Rock on bladeforums haha.
 
Also how could you sell it on EBay with it not even being in your possession... Sounds again EBay rules to me..
 
Some have already shipped, I have seen posts elsewhere of people in the Pacific Northwest already receiving their knife.

I look forward to the pictures!!

To be fair, a ton of sellers do this all the time. As an example, whenever San Diego Comic Con (or another big comic book convention) rolls around, you start seeing all of the auctions for all the limited toys/comics that will be con exclusives. "Item will be in hand after the show". Those people have been doing that for years and years.
 
ZT is going to honor my attempt at buying a BRNGLD on Tuesday. Since my order failed during checkout and I documented the failure, they're going to sell me one of the extra knives they have.

They are going to give me a ring on Monday and take down my order information. So I'm pretty stoked!

No way, he's way too busy mending his broken heart over the loss of this particular knife that he was pining for. He just loved it so much, that he wanted to share this amazing knife with others before he even got it.

Luke's problem is that he loves too much. He just loves too damn much.
 
I've never found throwing a tantrum with customer service to be an effective strategy for resolving problems. I worked a brief stint in tech support for a cable company as the ROC ramped up. If a customer was a jerk, they were politely taken care of and given nothing extra. If they were a customer we wanted to keep I went out of my way to make sure we gave them a little extra and followed up to be sure everything was still resolved. A good company bends over backwards to help the customer when something out of their control comes up. It sounds like KAI has done this in the past and intends to continue that practice for customers that aren't unreasonable.

If people were caught trying to flip knives, I don't think that has any grounds on which to complain. For those that legitimately had problems, I'm sure having some patience and asking for clarification with a polite email and phone call would take care of everything. KAI needs to run a business and can't focus just on you, but I'm sure will handle things in what a reasonable person would find to be a reasonable amount of time.

I know I've also had days where I've gone off my rocker and said things I regretted later (some to poolhustler). Apologies when you've cooled down usually go a long ways. If you run to social media to stir things up further, you're not going to get very far. It is all about being mature. You live. You learn. You try to do better next time. Sometimes it takes a little perspective. We all have our good days and bad, and KAI's employees are only human as are we. The treatment you get in this life often depends on how you treat others. Life isn't always fair, but taking things in stride and being kind to others always pays off in the long run.

I guess what I'm saying is, don't let the virtual anonymity of the internet, or the failure to realize a company is composed of people trying their best, lead you in to being a complete jerk. It sounds like some people have been jerks and are finding they aren't so anonymous after all. Regardless, take some deep breaths and everything will be okay if you let it be.

You forgot the habitual haters!

I'm a fan of ZT but not "rabid"! Perhaps I was inoculated in my youth. :)

I'm also a fan of many many other knives.
 
I've been guilty of getting caught up in the commotion before. Sometimes I get negative on here but I really do try to keep it positive. Even if I disagree with some of you or don't like how you say something, the fact remains that we're all knife nuts and I love you all. [emoji26]
 
I'm glad to see this thread calming down. I came in late and read most of it. It sucks that some people try to game the system. It just shows their lack of class when they get busted and then try to slam the people that busted them on a public forum with threats. It becomes hilarious when that same person gets busted by others for being someone I probably wouldn't want to drink a beer with.

N850gt, it sounds like you approached this the right way and will be taken care of appropriately.

The important thing is that this is one sexy looking knife with the popular 0392 design! I'm glad that so many were able to get it!
